“Text requests lack context. You build what users say they want, but not what they actually need.”
Step by step guide
Collect Feature Requests by Video, step by step
MagnetPlace Video Magnet in your product
Add a "Request a Feature" Video Magnet widget inside your app. Users see a small, non-intrusive button and can record a video showing what they want and why, with context captured naturally.
Choose a display type: chat button (least intrusive), popup, or inline widget
Customize button text, colors, and icon to match your product, so users see it as part of your app, not a third-party tool
Use a time-on-page trigger: "Have an idea? We'd love to hear it!" shows after a user spends 30 seconds on a feature page

MagnetUsers show what they need
Users share their screen and walk you through their current workflow, showing exactly where the friction is. "I do this 50 times a day and it takes 5 clicks each time."
Video recording captures facial expressions: genuine excitement about a feature idea vs. mild interest is visible
Screen recording shows the exact page, workflow, and context where the feature would help, with no ambiguity
Users can also type text or upload mockups/screenshots alongside video for multi-media requests

AI categorizes every request
AI transcribes all requests, extracts keywords, and labels sentiment, so you can see how strongly users feel about each request. Data replaces gut feeling in your product roadmap decisions.
Search transcripts for "bulk export" to see every user who asked for it this month
Sentiment labels add weight: a request from 5 frustrated users can matter more than one from 20 neutral users
AI Analysis: "Categorize requests as: UX improvement, missing feature, performance issue, integration request", with tags applied automatically
Zapier or webhooks push categorized requests to your product management tool (Notion, Linear, Productboard) with transcript and category
RoomTell them you built it via Room
When you ship the feature, send a personal Room video to the users who requested it. They feel heard, valued, and become your strongest advocates.
"Hey, you asked for bulk export 3 months ago. We built it! Here, let me show you how it works..." + screen share demo
They reply with a thank-you video → you now have an authentic testimonial about how responsive your team is
These "we built what you asked for" moments are testimonial gold. Ask permission to use their thank-you video on your website. Many will gladly say yes, and Showcase can publish it on a testimonial wall.
